Hawthorn is minutes from the Kew test centre and full of the multi-lane roundabouts examiners love to use. With Sprint you learn in a calm, dual-control car with a patient, VicRoads-accredited instructor — and 96% of our learners pass their test first time.
Sprint Driving School has been teaching learners across Inner East Melbourne for over 30 years, and Hawthorn is one of our most popular suburbs. Whether you’re a nervous first-timer picking up the keys for the first time, a parent organising lessons for your teenager, or an experienced driver converting an overseas licence, we tailor every lesson to where you’re at.
The roads around Hawthorn give learners a genuine, real-world education. You’ll get time on Glenferrie Road, Burwood Road and the Power Street / Barkers Road roundabouts. Because we teach on the streets you actually live and drive on — not a quiet car park miles away — the skills stick, and test day feels like just another lesson.
We run your Hawthorn lessons on the real Kew test routes, so the roads, roundabouts and tricky intersections are second nature before you book your test.
It comes down to results and comfort. Our instructors are fully VicRoads-accredited, hold current Working with Children Checks and police clearances, and many are multilingual. You can request a male or female instructor when you book. There’s no charge for travel time, no weekend or after-hours surcharge, and if you don’t pass first time, we’ll give you a second test attempt free.*
